I saw that. Also Q:13 (p.28) may be applicable, hence my reference to Basic Diver
Prior to 1987, there were two entry-level PADI certifications -
Basic Diver and Open Water Diver. Basic Divers completed most
of the same performance requirements as Open Water Divers,
however, they only completed two training dives.
To upgrade a Basic Diver, conduct a PADI Scuba Review
program, remediating knowledge and skills as necessary. Then,
conduct Open Water Training Dives 3 and 4 and include the Controlled
Emergency Swimming Ascent on one of the dives. (You
may conduct a Controlled Emergency Swimming Ascent on Dive
3 only if you omit the buddy breathing ascent.)
HIS CLASS WAS 9 YRS AGO, 2000, I DONT GET IT?
